SEGMENTATION OF THE PRIPYAT–DNIEPER–DONETSK AULACOGEN
Abstract
The formation and segmentation of the Pripyat–Dnieper–Donetsk aulacogen took place during the Hercynian tectogenesis, when the sinrift Pripyat and Dnieper troughs and the postrift inverted Donetsk folded structure and Carpinsky mountain ridge were formed. The special features of these inverted and noninverted structures are due to their tectonic position, differentiated vertical and horizontal movements of the Earth’s crust blocks along the aulacogen strike, the contribution of transverse fault-shifts to the developmental automism of the longitudinal segments, and their correlation with the old basement structural elements.
